I recently found these weird puppet-things tucked away on a shelf in the children's program room. I assume they were created by the teen volunteers who recently ran an Arts & Crafts session, but I have not confirmed that yet. Until such a time, I will consider it a job done by those infamous library elves. In addition, I need some help in figuring out what the first one signifies, if anything.

At first I thought the blue thing was a Tardis, but unlike the rest of you nerds, I don't watch "Doctor Who," so I'm not sure. (Just kidding! You're not nerds! Don't hate me! Doctor Who is a great show, probably!) I also Googled "Go Away Birdies" with no relevant results. So, someone smarter than me, HELP.

I rather like the angry demon guy. He looks like I do sometimes on a bad day when I'm sitting at the reference desk. Cheer up, little demon.

Also, this was statement written on the back of one of the popsicle sticks. Awww.

A quick note, in case you missed it...I've started a new bookish advice column, Dear Book Nerd, over at Book Riot! Check out my first official post here, in which I do my best to advise a book-loving person whose family hates reading. And feel free to submit your own questions, should you be moved to do so! BOOK NERDS 4 LIFE!
